BBC - Radio 4 Woman's Hour -Photos of Inspirational Women

Part of a unique tribute to Emmeline Pankhurst

Four thousand photographs of inspirational women are needed to create a unique tribute to female rights campaigner Emmeline Pankhurst. Artist Charlotte Newson has been commissioned to create a new portrait which will become the first public artwork of the pioneering suffragette ever to go on show in her home city. The portrait, in the form of a photographic mosaic, will be unveiled at Manchester City Art Gallery on International Women’s Day, March 8^th next year. Charlotte Newson joins Jenni to explain how Woman’s Hour listeners can be part of a unique tribute.
